About the host

You can view all our properties on VRBO as well. We offer only premium properties and are committed to you having the vacation of a lifetime.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this house when we first saw it. It is just steps away from a beautiful spacious beach. The views from the west deck are incredible and Bernard Court West is a great neighborhood community and a fun place to stay. The neighborhood is great and the beaches are among the most beautiful in the world.
With Tacky Jacks, the Fort Morgan Marina, Fort Morgan, the Dauphin Island Ferry and Mobile Bay just minutes away, this is one of the great vacation get-aways you could ask for!
